Footings and foundation.

The footings now cured (well, curing, but setup), Lamont and his guys can start laying brick. The solution to all the swater in the trenches was to add stone to the trenches to helkp draining. This means the footings were ~4" higher than anticipated. So we have to make a choice on how high we want the house. Not too high to be goofy looking, but high enough to be well out of flood potential, provide a roomy crawlspace (Chris' top priority), and still give us a good view of the water to the North.















7 courses of bricks it is. And 40 bags of cememt. 4 guys knock out this job in 1/2 day!

















The east and south side of the house still looks like a wreck.
